Read my post above this one you made. Because of the type of freight I chose to haul I did not have the problems you do.
What no one tells you about Landstar...

Nope I do not know what you mean.
I don't wear flipflops, sleeveless shirts and I shower regularly. And I looked respectable for my customers as well.
Wuss wagon drivers for the most part have the worst reputations from what I've seen. Maybe not at LS, but certainly across the board from other companies. -
Brickman, I would think as a moderator you would not make offensive comments like calling the van fleet "wuss wagon pullers". You really sound like a "Chicken Hauler" and that is very unusual for LS. And you get offended by me saying the ch i tt word???? You confuse me... Most of us here at LS are proffesional drivers, we look it, talk it, and act it. Now I am going to my race car forums where I can talk about things I really enjoy, and that is not talking about work. And I can say the itt word all I want...LOL Happy trails..... -
Freight runs in cycles. Always has, probably always will.
I think if you REALLY figured up the freight going to those undesirable places it is no where close to 98%.

I left and sold my truck because I wanted out of OTR, nothing else. LS begged me to stay with them.
Think about the reason why van freight is so cheap. Its so easy that any body can do it. Mind numbingly boring, sit there all day holding the steering wheel. Sit and wait to load, sit and wait to unload.... sit sit sit sit sit. Very little action. There is massive competition with many many companies pulling van. Competition forces prices to drop. -
Like I told you before, I don't make the rules. But I am asked to enforce them. If you don't like the site rules take it up with the site owner "WiseOne".
I'm not offended by the S word, or the F word or the rest of them. I can keep up with a sailor in that department.
I accept your criticism of my name for wagon drivers. I mostly do it to make fun of them, and then when they get unhappy about it, then its all the more fun.
I'll work on it. I'm no chicken hauler!
I've pulled vans for a couple weeks. No challenge (compared to securing freight and hauling OD loads), mind numbingly boring etc. But hey I'm glad some body likes to pull that cheap freight because I like to eat and enjoy the other goodies at the stores just as much as any body does. Thanks for being willing to give up revenue to pull a wagon. -

Wow I've been reading this and keeping up with you two and from the outside it's kinda funny. dont ya'll think that you guys could play the card of "cant we all just get all?" I must admitt that what you guys were debating about was actually kind of informative for the rest of us. Mainly that if you're going to drive for LS your better to drive a skate board around than a wagon.
